Everyone Must Sacrifice … for the greater good comrades!

Substitute the word “tax increase” for the word “reform” and you get the gist of the thing.

No wait … that’s my favorite part … “change for the greater good” … comrade! Work together for the collective, comrades. The ends will justify the means. Oh brother. I am not opposed to sacrificing … for my church, my family and yes for my country. What bothers me is that I doubt the politicians and TV anchors will share in that sacrifice. As I have said everyone is equal … some more than others.

    Everyone…

    Larry Cafero says he will bring up a revision to the legislator's benefit package which is supposed to be the "cadilac" of healthcare. He wants more co-pay to save taxpayers money.

    Waiting to see who will vote to sacrifice.

    Tell you what, PEBO: if you, and in particular, the Congress, give up their premium healthcare and pensions, "sacrificing," if you will, to suffer along with the rest of us, I will believe you guys.

    Telling us to suffer, while you exempt yourselves from any similar suffering, is the height of hypocrisy.  It is time for the leaders to lead, if by example in lieu of actual leadership.

    Are you listening, Mr. Dodd?

    Mr. Barrack Hussein Obama.  You are a Hypocrit.  You quote, We "ALL" must sacrifice.

    Spending over $140 million dollars of tax payer money on your inauguration is self-serving rape of honest hard working Americans.

    Excuse me if I sound a bit bitter.  Your "look at me" party tab is close 300% more that your predecessors "media" claimed extravagence in 2005.

    Hey PEBO, It doesn't look like sacrifice will be part of your practice……hhmmmm it seems like you are more of "do as I say, not as I do."
